Have you noted any "bag sag" if the amount of things you place in the bag do not pack it full? I am wondering about the bottom construction, how rigid is it and does it have any molded or rubberized outside bottom pieces or is it just a flat bottom of the construction materials?

i have used the bag a few times and so far it holds up good. most of the time the bag is full with 3 pistols, 3 boxes of ammo,2 safety glasses.1 Butler Creek 9mm-.45 Caliber LULA Universal Pistol Loader and Unloader , and 2 magazines. the bottom doesn't have any support but the inside bottom has some kind of support. hope this info will help you.

My husband bought this as an ammo case. It seems well constructed, if you look at the pic, those straps are one piece. So they are sewn into the bottom and sides all the way around which gives it some stability. It has a piece of some flat bottom material that is removable like a duffle bag so it isn't extremely stiff or anything. I wouldn't say it is rigid by any sense and no to molded or rubberized bottom. It is all material.

No rubberized outside bottom pieces...but it is a nice, heavy duty bag. I was pleasantly surprised with it's quality and would recommend this bag...especially for the price. I can carry all I need without any problems...just make sure not to overload with too much ammo. Hope this helps : )

The bottom has a little rigidity to it but not much. I just solve the problem by distributing heavier items--viz. ammo boxes-- evenly across the bottom.

I have had many items in this bag and have stood it upright and it hasn't fallen over.. But maybe I had the right amount of items in that just didn't cause it to tip over. Just remember that you can always lean it against something of it comes down to you being worried about it needing to be stabilized.

This is bag is firm but soft at the bottom, however, I would do a preliminary tap and feel check due to shifting of materials when being shipped. I did have one of the inner core sand bags near the surface in the middle of the bag. I had to unload and re-shift the materials to ensure no "brick-like" impacts.

Curious about your question I checked my two bags. I found only two that appeared to have "lines" in them but I could feel no crack or roughness on the surface other than the manufacturing ones. I've had mine several months without any problems other than one created by my husband when he put tumbler with unrinsed cubes plus soft drink back into freezer; those leaked when washed.

The seating was firm it did not sag. However I did send my comments in regarding my experience - it was not favorable. I did not keep it as it was not shipped as ordered. You can see my comments. NGB

Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one. If you stand it on end, it has a felt pad on the inside bottom. On the outside bottom, it has ribbed plastic to assist with this bag not touching the surface. I found the bag to be secure for my laptop and have traveled with it. It has space on the outside portion to hold electrical items, etc. The shoulder strap is what came in handy for me and with the extra padding on the bottom and security straps inside, I decided to keep it. I hope this helps your decision. Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one.

I think I may have hot-glued a strip of vinyl down there...whoops, just remembered, the zipper goes all the way across the bottom of the bag and I had a mishap when the zipper gave way and my gtr fell out of the bottom of the bag. Luckily it didn't suffer any horrific consequences. I ended up hot-glueing the zipper inside and out along the bottom. It'll never happen again! But, despite this pretty serious shortcoming, I do like the basic design and features of the bag more than most gig bags I've had. They just should NOT run the zipper along the bottom, it's useless to do that anyway. Hope this helps...

On mine there were some metal bars that act as a frame they are removable. I guess a lot if times these bags are shipped without all the parts so make sure it is complete. The one I got was perfect with all parts and no damage. You tube has a great video showing what parts should all be with bag and how everything should work.

We like this bag. We have several for storing etc. Personal preference. Have others also that are not soft. Depending on what you have room for. We don't have a lot of room so soft sides work best for us. Hope this helps.

The back and bottom are fabric. The back plane of the backpack has a semi-rigid piece inside surrounded by soft padding and a soft breathable nylon fabric exterior along its entire length. The bottom piece is a heavy nylon fabric with some padding. There is nothing like rubber feet or plastic runners to keep ground contact to a minimum. If the bag is dragged or slid across a rough surface it will begin to show. I found this bag to be better quality than most of the bags in the school supply isle at my local department store and as good or better quality than many at the local sporting goods/ camping supply store. The quality far exceeds the price.

I've found that if the bag isn't packed very full, it wants to tip over onto its top unless I place most of the items on what would be the bottom when standing upright. When the bag is full, it stands on its own, no problem.

Hello Chad, the bag came filled. I had to re-pack after a month of use as the filling settled quite a bit. Overall, I was happy with the purchase.

No. These bags are very limp in fact. I do use them, but I find I go back to the the bags that have the plastic coating on the outside. These, in a word, are flimsy. They come with a rubber removable bottom liner, but which gives some shape when in, but the bag material is very limp.

That is hard to gauge. I put a lot of items in the cart but some where heavier then others. I took it to a bead show and filled it up with different bags. It does have the support bar on the bottom but this is a soft sided cart so there is very little structure to it. For example, you would have a hard time putting 8 gallons of milk in there because of the lack of structure. The tires, if i am not mistaken, are made of hard plastic and could crack if abused with use. My use was not for anything heavy duty. Overall, I was very pleased.

There is no firm bottom to the storage chest, the sides are firm, but fold/accordion inward without stuff inside to hold it open. There is also Velcro on the bottom to stick to trunk carpeting. It is also fairly wide, and wouldn't carry easily with the bottom flexing.

It's not fully structured but the fabric is thicker and i think the base is sewn to stand up on its own. I use it as a diaper bag and when it is packed it will stand up on its own for me. I think that if i used it for school with textbooks and a computer the weight of that might not stand up on its own but I've never tried. It has a full zipper top closure, a large zip on one side and the other 2 outside pockets are pretty deep so the stuff i put in there rarely falls out. I love this bag!!! i have never used any other bag since my baby was born, there are so many pockets, it is awesome!
